People will notice. I mean, yes, they'll be suckered in for the "new", but soon they'll find out that the new is just a new coat of paint on the old. And then? You think they'll get "6G" (or whatever the next gen thing will be) once they have been burned now?
Funny, you seem to define things fitting a narrative rather than what they are describing. Did it ever occur to you that whoever is currently running with the "liberal" tag is not liberal? Just because I say I am something doesn't make me so. No matter how much I sexually identify as an attack helicopter, I shall never rain down death upon my enemies.
Words used to have meanings. But when you redefine them, you strip them off it. Like "rape". Remember when this meant something akin to sexual assault? It's been redefined to mean pretty much "disagreeing with me and offering better arguments I can't refute". So what's left of its meaning? Zip.
Labels mean jack shit. Today more than ever, now that we redefine and rebrand them whenever it fits our whim. Get over it.
You're so 1940. Germany 2020 is more akin to "Yes, we COULD of course do that but that costs more. Is there a law that makes us? No? Is there a lawsuit pending if we fuck up? No? Then why the heck are you bothering us with such petty nonsense?"
The answer to this is simple: Making something work is easy. Making something work securely is hard. Something that's hard to implement takes good engineers. Good engineers cost more money.
Need I go on or is the wall the train of thought is about to hit obvious?
I thought the watches are already banned in Germany since their law identifies them as covert surveillance devices (which are illegal in Germany... unless you're the government, of course)?
But it's about effin' time these security nightmares get outlawed. Dear helicopter parents: Fuck you.
Democracies are facing a much bigger problem these days. You can't just take your brightest and implement their ideas when you have to listen to constituents where half of them is below average IQ level.
Given that it's trivial for the average German to ensure not even another native speaker from another dialect group understands a single word they say, I highly doubt that Siri manages to speak all the hundreds of dialects available.
Try it. Learn German. Learn it really well. Then go into some small Bavarian town and ask some old person for directions. Then wonder whether you learned the right language or whether you're in the wrong country.
Since I've been creating input devices for people who cannot use "normal" ones for one reason or another for many years now, I'm curious. How close are they to actually providing an interface that offers a comparable accessibility to people with reduced mobility or fine motor skills? What sorts of input do they already provide?
This is one thing I don't get. I mean, you have this testosterone loaded sport where allegedly grown up men headbutt repeatedly, and while allegedly the goal is to move some sort of egg shaped object it seems to me that it's more about who gets to kill whom in the most appealing way...
and then you have a halftime act that's always, without fail, some pussy pop group. How does this fit in there?
I learned that it's better to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission. Your Apple watch doesn't work? Gee, no idea why, but you can find out after the test. Here, I put a big one up in front of the class so you know how much time you have left, after all that's what you need it for, right?
What were the events leading up to World War One, and why could a simple assassination of a heir to the throne start a world wide war?
Trust me, I'll know exactly whether you know anything about it or whether you wikipedia'd it from your answer. And yes, this is probably the only one, or maybe one of two, questions for a one hour exam. Because to explain this all you HAVE to know European history of the 19th century (and basically write a summary of it), and you better know it well.
Seriously, if your test is about fact regurgitation that can easily be replaced by 5 seconds of google search, don't be surprised when people just do that.

In theory a good idea.
In practice it means you have to trust Google.
Dump all the ads and it's gonna be blazingly fast.

People in Australia might disagree with you right now, I surely will come June.
But then again, I got air conditioning, so why bother worrying?

So like a phone except you cannot airdrop dick pics?
Is that a challenge?
Hold my beer.

Nuclear waste storage has been solved? Did I miss the memo?
Might you please inform me of the solution?
Democracies are facing a much bigger problem these days. You can't just take your brightest and implement their ideas when you have to listen to constituents where half of them is below average IQ level.
And they're usually also the loudest.
Is that a challenge?
Hold my beer.
For a time when I will certainly be dead? Why?
Personally I consider humanity just a pest, but I like your definition, too.
This. I'm not alive at 2100, I have no kids, and I'm tired of trying to keep yours from suffering from your idiocy.
Go for it. Burn the coal. Why the fuck should I give a shit?
The difference is that one gets burned by dogma, the other by facts.

You think that the French Revolution led to a leftist government?
So it's true what I get to hear about the school system? Are we really fucked beyond repair?
